I was wondering if this piano had the problem with excessive action noise. In my case it was largely coming from the whippen blubbering on the capstan. I didnt get a chance to do anything permanant about it, but I checked with some temporary front weighting and easing of the assist springs, and that erased the problem. I imagine tho that there were some geometric problems with that as well... grin.. will get a chance to check it out again next year me thinks.. I will start a Petrof grand next week at the University here. This ones going to be interesting.. Hammers been replaced and the bore lenght is wrong. I am pretty sure they are short, and I think I am going to find the spread is too tight. Drop screws are too high and grate against the sticker as you bring the action in and out. Rollers are really flat indicating jack is digging. Wouldnt be a bit suprised to find this thing is really mucked up. I'll be taking a bunch of Stanwood type measurements as well and posting them in case anyones interested.
